DEWEY WILL COME SOUTH
Accepts Invitation to Visit Atlanta With Flag
Lieutenant Brumby.
HERO HONORS THE GEORGIAN
Presentation of Brumby Sword
Will Be Hade By the
Admiral.
A Washington speoial says: Admi¬
ral Dewey has accepted the invitation
of the citizens of Atlanta, Ga., to par¬
ticipate in the oeremonies attending
the presentation of the sword to Flag
Lieutenant Brumby.
The invitation was formally tender¬
ed to the hero of Manila Saturday by
a delegation of prominent citizens,
and a prompt and gracious acceptance
was immediately announced.
Accompanied by Representative Lon
Livingston, tho delegation called upon
Admiral Dewey, at the McLean resi¬
dence. The interview had been pre¬
viously arranged through Lieutenant
Brumby, hence the Georgians received
an extremely cordial greeting from the
admiral. The reception took place in
the parlor, which was beautifully dec¬
orated with flowers, potted plants and
the national colors.
These little formalities having been
completed, Mayor Woodward who was
one of the committee, stepped to the
front and in the name of the citizens
of Atlanta, indeed in the name of all
the people in the state of Georgia, in¬
vited the admiral to visit Atlanta and
witness the presentation of a sword to
Lieutenant Brumby. Mayor Wood¬
ward went on to say ho v proud tho
people of Georgia are to claim Lieu¬
tenant Brumby as their own, aud he
informed the Admiral that a hand¬
some sword had been procured by
popular subscription to he presented
to Lieutenaut Brumby.
The admiral at that point inter¬
rupted the mayor to say that he had
seen it stated that the people of Geor¬
gia intended to give Lieuteuat Brum¬
by a sword, aud he desired to say that
gallant young offioer was worthy of
any honor or distinction his friends or
his country might see fit to bestow
him.
This high testimonial to Lieutenant
Brumby was made with so much sin¬
cerity t hat it deeply impressed the mem¬
bers of the delegation, and their ad¬
miration of the admiral was increased
accordingly. The admiral took occa¬
sion to say that ho not only appreciated
the valuable services rendered by
Lieutenant Brumby, but he also ap¬
preciated the noble and patriotic part
played by the representatives of the
southern Btates, in the army and navy
during the war with Spain.
He said he knew how bravely the
southern men rushed to the support of
the nation’s honor and shared the glo¬
ries of victory with their northern
brethren and thus wiped out all traces
of sectionalism. The admiral’s atten¬
tion was called to the fact that Geor¬
gia sent more men into the United
States service to battle against Spain
than any other stato in the union.
The admiral replied that the infor¬
mation was intensely gratifying to him
and it made him all the more anxious
to visit Georgia aud personally show
his appreciation of the valor and
patriotism o/ the southern people.
Turning to Lieutenaut Brumby, the
admiral said: “Brumby, we have but
two engagements ahoad—one in Chi¬
cago and one in Philadelphia."
Brumby replied.in the affirmative,
whereupon the admiral delighted his
visitors by saying:
“Well, gentlemen, yon may count
on me being present to see Brumby
get bis sword."
He said he could not state definitely
when it would be convenient for him
to visit Atlauta, owiug to an engage
ment be has with the president and
the members of tho Philippine com¬
mission, soon after the president re¬
turns from his western tour.
His acceptance, with that qualifica¬
tion, was entirely satisfactory to the
delegation, and the details of the visit
wore farther dismissed.
The admiral evinced such a warm
personal * ... regard for Lieutenant Brum¬
by throughout the interview that a
change was made in the priginal pro

part to play in the ceremonies attend

On the steps of the capito! at Wash
ington, it was deemed a high honor
for Admiral Dewey to receive the na
sword from the president of th*
United States. At Atlanta it will be

DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF
Be Discontinued In Compli¬
ance With Orders Received
From Washington.
An Atlanta dispatch says: The
commander of the department
the gulf, Colonel John Simpson,
Saturday from Washington
the official order of the war department
the department of the
gulf and transferring the headquarters
to Governor’s Island.
From the nature of the order it is
regarded as evident by the officers of
the department that the mind of the
president has been made up, and that
the efforts of Atlanta business men
will bring no satisfactory result. The
order states that the change is made
by direction of the president, and is
signed toy the secretary ol war, the
commanding general and the adjutan'
general of the army.
Colonel Simpson stated that he wat
in no way acquainted with the purpose
of the war department in discontinuing
the department of the gulf, but sup¬
posed that Atlanta had been made the
headquarters on the outbreak of tht
war on account of its central location
and its thorough eonneotion with the
southern seacoast towns. With the
war at an end there was nothing to
accomplish by the continuance of the
department.
JONES IS OPTIMISTIC.
Democratic Chairman Says Bryan Will R
Nomianted and Elected.
United States Senator James E.
Jones, of Arkansas, chairman of thf
Democratic national committee, anf
wife, were passengers on the Cunar6
line steamship Lucauia that reached
New York Sunday. They have bees
traveling in England, Ireland, Scof
land, Switzerland and Wales for sev¬
eral months. Senator Jones said that
he had been much benefited by his
lengthy European travels, and felt
ready to go into the hard work neoes
sary in getting ready for the presiden¬
tial campaign.
Senator Jones, when asked to give
his views on the political situation,
said that, owing te his long absence
abroad, he was not as fully informed
as to political conditions as he hoped
to be in a few weeks. When asked
his opinion as to the probability of the
Democratic nomination for the presi¬
dency going to William J. Bryan, he
said:
“There is no doubt that Bryan will
receive the Democratic nomination for
president,"and added: “Has anybody
any doubt on that question? Bryan is
sure to win.”

Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed ar¬
rived in Washington Sunday. He
declined to discuss polities, saying he
was here to remove some of his private
belongings.

Delay of Hostilities In Transvaal Bode,

All the reliable intelligence fro*

points to a continuance of the existing

CARTER IN COURT.

Held In New York.
Oberlin M. Carter, the engineering
captain, who is under sentence of five
years’ imprisonment after conviction
on the charge of conspiracy to defraud
the government, was taken from Gov¬
ernor’s Island to the United States
circuit court in New York Wednesday
on a writ of habeas eorpns in his be¬
half obtained Noonday. Judge La
Combe was on the beneb.
On the question of sentence it was
claimed by Carter’s attorneys the
court had acted in excess of its pow¬
ers, beyond jurisdiction and contrary
to law.
Colonel Clous, in reply, held that
the action of a courtmartial cannot be
reviewed by any civil court.
Counsel submitted briefs. Judge
LaCombe reserved decision on the
writ and ordered Captain Carter baek
to the custody of Captain Roberts, of
Governor’s island.

Sooth Carolina Board of Control Keeps
Douthit; Out.
A Columbia, B. C., dispatch says:
Thursday morning the state board of
control upon assembling took up tbb
Douthit case, and voted down a reso¬
lution by Mr. Williams Douthit. looking to a
further hearing for Mr. The
division of the members was the same.
As soon as the offioial notice of
removal is served on Mr. Douthit his
attorneys will serve a paper on the
boavd setting forth that Mr. Douthit
declines to vacate the office until
“legally removed."
This will doubtless cause the whole
matter to be aired in the courts.
COMMISSION DEFIED
Railroads Entering Atlanta Filed
No Depot Plans.
THE SITUATION GROWS INTERESTING
Other Koadu 8ay They Cannot Act Until
the Western and Atlantic
Tnkes the Initiative.
The railroads entering Atlanta, Ga.,
have abandoned the idea, if they ever
seriously entertained it, of voluntarily
giving the Gate City a new passenger
station.
They have failed to file plans, and
now they are up against the commis¬
sion. The board will meet again in a
few kays and see what it can do with
them for disobeying its order.
At Thursday’s meeting the lessee of
the state’s road declared that it is ab¬
solutely impossible to get the roads,
the city and state to agree. Major
Thomas, representing the lessee, sug
gnested that the state should patch up
the old shed, which four of the roads
claim to own.
If the state does not do that, he pro¬
posed that his company would stand
part of the expense of patching.
This would mean the continuance
of the dangerous street crossings at
grade, a menace to life which the city
has considered far more objectionable
than the inadequate old shed.
All the roads say that Major Thom¬
as holds the key to the situation. He
says there is no hope of getting a new
union station.
In the face of this announcement,
tho Southern railway takes an opti¬
mistic view of the situation. That
company says it does not think the
question of locating a union station
on the old site has been exhausted,
aud asks for more time. Several times
iu the past, the Southern representa¬
tives have expressed doubt about the
advisability of using the old site for a
new station bccauss it is so narrow.
None of the other roads suggested
anything that would tend to solve the
problem.
Fines Slay Be Imposed.
So now the commission is looking
into methods of procedure.
The roads have not filed plans, and
the next question is to fine them. The
law fixes as the penalty a fine not ex¬
ceeding $5,000. The fine, if im¬
posed would‘go to the state. Six
roads enter Atlanta. If the max¬
imum fine were imposed and colleoted
it would amount to $30,000.
The commission can cite the roads
every thirty days, and in the course of
two years might colleot enough in fines
to build a magnificent station.
At Thursday’s meeting the board
asked Judge Atkinson, the legal mem¬
ber, for his opinion on the way to pro¬
ceed against the roads. Judge Atkin¬
son assured his confreres he would
have his opinion ready when the board
meets again.
President Thomas has been advised
to confer with the railroad commission
and the legislature’s special commis¬
sion. One idea in getting the presi¬
dent of the lessee company and the
legislative committee together is to see
if any agreement can be reached on
which the legislature can act looking
to the state building a union passenger
station and renting to the roads.
GEORGIA PENSION FIGURES.
State Paid Out Sum of $652,820 the
Past Year.
The annual report of commissioner
of pensions for Georgia, Richard John¬
son, has just been issued from the
press. The report is one of the most
interesting that will be issued this year
from the capitol, as it shows some very
important changes have taken place in
the pension rolls during the present
administration.
To begin with, the report shows that
the pension accounts for the fiscal year
just ended has increased $48,060, the
total amount for the year reaching
$652,820.
There is also an increase of 731 pen¬
nons this year as compared with last
year.
There is an increase of 731 new
claims paid this year as compared
with last year. These increases, taken
together with other items, are of inter¬

BURGLARS USED CHLOROFORM.
Drugged Woman While She Was Awake
and Bobbed the House.
A sensational burglary occurred at
Knoxville, Tenn., at an early hour
Wednesday morning. Two masked
burglars entered the residence of C.
A. ‘Tvalnum and held his sister, Mrs.
Kimbrough, while they chloroformed
her. They then searched the room,
where Trainum, who is treasurer of
the Brotherhood of Looomotive Ear
gineers, had several hundred dollars
concealed. They secured some of it,
but Mrs. Kimbrough had hidden the
larger part, which they did not dis¬
cover.
